Elmovel S oint 10 gm

Elmovel S ointment from Leeford pairs a mid-potency steroid with a keratolytic agent. It is commonly used for thick, scaly skin conditions where softening the build-up helps the steroid reach deeper layers.

• Plaque psoriasis
• Chronic eczema with thickened skin
• Lichen planus and similar scaly disorders

Mometasone calms inflammation and itching by quieting overactive immune cells in the skin. Salicylic acid loosens dead surface cells, helping the steroid absorb better and smoothing rough patches.

Apply a thin layer to the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Wash hands before and after, and avoid covering with a tight bandage unless advised.

• Mild burning or stinging at first
• Dryness or peeling
• Thinning of skin with long use

Avoid eyes, face folds, and broken skin unless your doctor says otherwise. Long-term or large-area use needs medical supervision. Not for use during pregnancy without advice.

Store below 25°C, away from direct sun. Keep the tube tightly capped and out of children's reach.
